** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** I know I look a bit scary, but I don't bite, much  This is my blog. A place to torture people I don't know with rants, opinoins and just plain babbling so I can keep a few friends in the real world. If you like torture, come join me. Fix a cup of tea or coffee and sit back while I tell you about the time when.... |
| I had a quiet day at home. It was pleasant except for the pain. We got a winter storm and it gave me tons of aches. I tricked them though, slept through most of them. Ha I did force myself out to eat Chinese and pick up a couple of items at the Dollar Store. I was going to get cash back until I saw they were charging a dollar to do so. I said, nah, I can get money without extra fees at the bank. It amazes me how much everyone is out to gouge everyone else. Been reading my new book on revision. There have been a few good tips so far. I expect there will be even more before I finish. I need to get back to writing my story, but I have taken up crocheting at the moment. I tend to cycle through hobbies. I crochet a while, then I sew, I read, I write and then switch back to one of the other ones, in no particular order. I never really have the right to say I am bored, because there is always something I can be doing. My problem comes from too many choices and the occassional inability to choose. Though this is short, I am thinking I should head to bed. I have to get up bright and early tomorrow to go to work for a whopping 2 1/2 hours. I so can't wait till we get the new people hired so I can start working every third weekend. This every other weekend crap sucks wind. Have a great night and a good day tomorrow. Hugs P.S. For those of you who know CC String here on WDC. I asked David aka Tor about him and Lo and Behold I saw him commenting on David's Facebook wall. I sent a friend invite and told him how very much I missed seeing him around here. He said he misses the place, but life is keeping him very, very busy at this time. I understand, but I wanted to pass on the great news that he is still out there and he is still kicking life's butt. |

| This is the second time around for my writing. I don't know what I did wrong the first time, but I lost it. Today has been a good day. Leaving work at noon is always nice. I heard about 'dragonspeak' today. It is a softwear that lets you talk into a mic and it types for you. Ayron doesn't seem so happy that I heard about it because he knows, now I want it. I can't say that it would be better for my attempts at writing, but it shouldn't be worse. Mind, I am not rushing out to buy it, I will get it when there is extra money to spend. Today was a quiet day and I even got a nap in. This winter light is wearing on me. It gets dark way too early. I know I have never been extremely fond of it, but lately I feel like it is midnight when it is only a little after five. I miss the light. Well, I am off to bed. It is late or early depending on how a person looks at things. Be well and write on! |
Something I have noticed is that I 'crawl' out of bed quite a lot in this blog. I don't jump, hop or any of the many other adjectives that might fit. I wonder why I only seem to be able to crawl out of and into bed? Today has been another 'relaxed' day for me. That means that as of this writing, I haven't worked on my story today. I did watch an episode of NCIS when I came home. I spent quality time with the hubby and then after he cooked up some chocolate chip cookies and I went on to watch two movies on my computer. That means I also worked on the afghan I am making for Ayron also. It is six foot long and the width of two scarfs so far. I may even get back on track with his quilt next. My brother called this morning. That would be my older half brother. My younger brother doesn't call much and I respect that. As I am finding it hard to let go of some issues from our past, I can't expect it is any easier for him. Anyway, my older bro called and harrassed me about sleeping the day away because I didn't answer before ten. I informed him when we got to talking that I don't sleep the day away often, I just start and end my days later than he does. Starting Tuesday, I will have to get on a better schedule, but that is Tuesday. I can say that I did write last night. 2k of words, but not on my story. I had another story idea in my head and I wanted to get what I had on paper or the computer. I gushed it all out and realized that it really didn't go anywhere, yet. But that is okay. It is now off my mind and I can refocus. There sure seem to be many obstical to writing. Oh, I told Ayron to officially cancel my WOW subscription. I don't know when or if I will go back to the game. I have given it up for a year before and I am okay with doing so again. Maybe I am finally maturing. I would rather crochet things for my family or write and come summer, I will want to garden again. Well, I shall stop here and try to convince myself that I want to get back to writing. HugsAuntynae  |
| I had to take a two day break from writing. Yes, I know I am not going to win Nano this year and I accept that. I had a hissy fit built around that, but blamed on other things. After I calmed down and the hubby and I talked about it. I am much better... now. I guess this particular story isn't one that will get written in 30 days. I am okay with that...now. For not wanting to work yesterday, it turned out to be an okay day. I came in a little tired, I cranked at my old boss for the requisit five minutes then proceeded to have a great day. The only drawback for the day, was that I was tired from not sleeping the night before. So, when I got done with work, I went home and took a nap. I have another story idea that came to me while I was napping and I think I shall outline it and see if I will be able to flesh it out eventually. After I finally got functional today. I slept late then took a nap till 4, I am starting to feel normal again. Wish I had something exciting to say, but I have been either writing, sleeping or watching TV of late. Please remember watching TV usually equals crocheting. I have almost gotten Ayron's afghan back to the size it was when I had to completely undo it. To all those out there, have a great day. Hugs |
Today has not been a productive day. Part of me is disappointed, but part of me isn't. Today is my annaversary and I needed to take a little time to enjoy that, plus my sinuses are killing. I came very close to finally breaking down and making a doctor's appointment. After a few more drugs and I think I can make it a few more days. I need to make a regular appointment next week anyway.... I noticed earlier while looking for things to do not involving writing my story, that I hadn't kept up on posting it here. So, I just took the last few minutes to do that. Now you all know just about all I do. If it seems slightly shy of the number. I have almost 1700 or so in notes. Not posting those. LOL Well, I guess it is back to the grind. I am making progress, but some of it is absolutely painful. It feels like I am ripping the words from my core. I find it so weird considering, I am more excited about this story than I have been about any in a while. I guess if you don't give a little of yourself, you don't get 'good' books. Mind, what I have been showing people is what I can pull out of myself as fast as possible without any great corrective measures. The hubby assures me there are many errors in the story too. Almost gotta love an honest man. Hehe. Time to get back to the grindstone. |
| Staying up till three in the morning is not condusive to getting my writing done. It would be one thing if I had actually been writing, but since I spent most of that time talking to my brother. Not all of it. I missed my goal of at least 20k yesterday, but I am not in yesterday anymore, so I shall make a second coffee, quit stalling and get down to Turning Victoria into the Queen of Earth Center in the Realm of Dreams. That ought to mess with her mind. Hehe. Good news for me today is that I woke up to a bright clear day. The lack of greyness is definately a bonus. As my day just got started a little over an hour ago, I think I shall leave it open that I may write more in this entry later. I have hit and passed my 20k mark. Yeah. Unfortunately, I am ready for a nap. Nearly three hours of writing is a start. I am hoping of getting at least that many more in today. First the nap. I started this morning under 20k and I am ending over 23k. Not the 5k mark, but better than nothing. I am happy with what I have so far and I hope that tomorrow I will do even better. It is a fight I don't want to loose even if the story doesn't come to a close as I reach the Nano goal. Oh, and after talking to my writing friend, the story has changed up some again. I don't know if I can pull off the changes, but I shall try. good night. |
| I crawled off to bed at about 1:00 am this morning. Bed had been calling since eleven, but I had finally hit my stride in writing a scene in the Sky Castle Chapter. It is very descriptive. (Blinking eyes to clear the sleep away) Anyway 2.5k later I finally decided I needed to get to bed so I could function this morning. The weather is doing its part to discourage my writing. Cold grey mornings make me want to dive back into bed and sleep longer. I must not! Not this week. I have to find a way to pull 5k words from my personage for the next 6 days in order to make my 50k goal. Saying that reminds me I need to update my word count after last night. I was concerned yesterday because I knew that I needed to get Tory to The Dragon, I knew he would send her on another quest, but I didn't know what it was. Last night my writing friend Sara was saying she was a bit worried about the next book she planned to start, possibly today. I told her that when she laid down to take a nap, think about it. I took my own advice going to bed and poof, there it was. I found my twist and the ending goal for my book. I know some people jump up and write things down, but I just firmly told myself not to forget and went to sleep. I would spill all here, but I am hoping that if there is some mystery, people might peek at the book. Just so you know that I haven't focused 100% on writing. I went to Barnes & Nobles on line last night and order two new books to help my writing. I spent a good hour trying to decide which Marketing book to get. It is my first. That I had been so descerning when it came to my first boyfriend. Then I found another book that went with the other writing books I have gotten and slowly read. I would like to find a good book on POV, but didn't find what I thought I wanted last night. I know the different POVs but sometimes mix them up in my writing. Well, it is 9:45 and I have a 10:30 chiropactor appointment I am not missing today. I want my hips aligned and my back straight to properly hunch over my computer for the next 8 hours. Have a great day. Hugs |
| It is time to write, so why am I blogging? I am not quite certain how to start this next scene. I origonally opened it with her (Victoria) having a heart attack, but then I got to thinking, shocking her back to life, might cause the baby damage. Not a good idea. I have thought about having her go into labor early. I was going to say but, but there isn't really any but. It works in its own way and it fits in a way with the last chapter. I just worried that I was doing that a little early. I guess if I am then later I will have to go back and fix something. For now. I think that works. Wow, you are so helpful. Just talking to you helps me figure out where I want to go next. Thank you. My word count is up to 13K. I have figured it out. I have to write 5K a day for the next week to make my goal. If I don't get started soon today, I am not going to make it. I stopped in here first to warm up the fingers and try to think out the next part of the story as you saw above. My D-I-L is reading my rough draft with pens and highlighters in hand. I asked her to go ahead and find mistakes, but not show me what she has done till December 1st. Another writer friend asked for a critique of the 1st 15 pages of her novel. It couldn't have come at a worse time. I hate not being able to help or make more suggestions, but I am limited. So, that is also on my mind. Well, I am going to go back to the novel now. Will keep you posted on how that turns out. Hugs |
| I feel kind of bad to write a blog entry when I don't really have anything to say. I had today off, but instead of jumping up and gluing myself to my computer, I crawled out of bed, stumbled around for a bit and went back to bed till almost one in the afternoon. Between the weather and my feeling just blah, it has been overdue to happen. I can say that this evening I feel better. I have passed the 10k point on my story, but....but I have a whole lot to do in the next 9 days. That is about what I have to write the next 39k words. I can't plan on the last three days because I will be back at work. Other things I have been doing is reading Sara Kings newest rough draft. She is writing an awesome science fiction romance. I am loving it. Of course, should it ever get published, I will spend the big bucks for a hard cover copy and send it to her to get it signed. Today I woke up just knowing that I was wasting my time trying to write a story because I just knew it sucked wind, but my daughter-in-law said she really liked what I have and wants to read more. I hope she isn't just being nice. Sara is checking out my last chapter and will hopefully give me some constructive feedback. Writing is rough on a person, let me tell you. Worrying and wondering and for me, always thinking I could be doing better some how. Well, this is where I am going to stop tonight. I have to get back to killing a two headed python. Hugs Auntynae |
